This last suggestion seemed to excite her. And I have to admit ordering back pillows is far more exciting than ordering staples or paperclips. But I couldn't share in her excitement. I actually found myself frightened. You know, it's scary to think that my once flourishing existence has been reduced to thinking space heaters and back pillows "fun." Perhaps this is a part of that learning process people are always talking about. Then again maybe it's not. The only "fun" thing about ordering office supplies is that you get to spend obscene amounts of money while using someone else's credit card. I've always loved shopping, but viewing my virtual cart isn't doing for me what it once did. Maybe I'm not selecting the right items. Maybe for this Friday's order I'll order 523 boxes of Zazzle brand highlighters. That could be fun?

from one addiction to another
Well, I'm leaving MySpace in one day, which is quite liberating. However, I've maintained an allegence to this whole "blogging" thing. I enjoy it.
I received an instant message from Stephanie today (not that this is anything out of the ordinary). My teleclock read 11:15 as did my IM window. Steaphanie proceeds to ask me, "What are fun things to get from Office Depot?" We both work in offices which require little tasks such as ordering office supplies. It didn't take long for m to respond. "Pens, space heaters, back pillows."

Just think: where would your slightly obsessive-compulsive roommate be without your help? In penless-ville where journal-writing gnomes live when their pens run out! That's where.
